- Real Madrid star Casemiro struck back to level the scoreline in Singapore
- Gabriel Jesus, Roberto Firmino and Dani Alves all featured for the Brazil side
Neymar went off injured 12 minutes into Brazil's 1-1 draw with Nigeria in a friendly in Singapore on Sunday.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward, making his 101st appearance for the national team, touched the back of his left thigh as he left the pitch and was replaced by Philippe Coutinho. There was no immediate word on his condition.
The draw extended Brazil's winless run to four games.

A whole host of stars turned out for Brazil but were unable to get victory over the line
The Africans took the lead after 35 minutes when Joe Aribo found space in a packed penalty box to rifle in a low shot and grab his second goal in two international appearances.
Brazil equalised three minutes into the second half when Casemiro fired home from close range after he was quickest to react when a Marquinhos header came back off the woodwork.
Casemiro later smacked a header off the bar and Coutinho should have scored a cut back with five minutes remaining but the score remained at 1-1.
Since lifting the Copa America in July, Brazil have also drawn with Colombia and Senegal and lost to Peru
